E53 - Understanding your body fat
Listen now
Description
In this episode I discuss how to gauge our body fat levels and why it's important to address any health related warning signs. As a general rule, we should monitor our body fat and visceral fat levels, by way of weekly if not monthly composition readings. Excessive levels of abdominal fat are physiologically detrimental to our health, leading to possible type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders and in some cases social exclusion. Poor nutrition, inadequate sleep, inactivity and sedentary professions are most common factors, of which are all preventable / reversible, with self discipline and common sense. We look at national guidelines and charts depicting various ranges of body fat categories, from elite athletes to GP referral levels.
